A friend recently purchased this as a graduation present along with some other goodies for me. Now, I do enjoy new things to try, but when I took one look at this mask, I was appalled. At first glance, it was easy to see the terrible craftsmanship; some of the feathers darted out in different directions and some feathers seemed creased or broken. The backing is a plastic mask shaped base which is meant to hold all the feathers together with glue. To secure this mask to an individuals head, a rubber elastic cord is used. I am five feet, 2 inches tall, and my entire body is petite; when placed over my head the eye slots are quite larger than my eyes, and the elastic cord felt tight. The mask itself felt tight against my skin and felt uncomfortable. I also noticed pieces of the feather coming loose on my clothing. I’m not sure about anyone else, but feather pieces sticking to me during sex on a moist body seems a bit of a turn off.

Although it looks nice and depending where you shop, as that these masks can retail from $4 - $10, this is not much of a good buy for you buck. Most likely, you will never wear this again or wear it at all. Personally when I see this type of mask, I believe they belong in a costume store and not a sex shop.

If the types of role playing you enjoy require masks to stimulate a more realistic experience, I recommend leather, latex, pleather or even veggie leather. If you are into the moment, plastic masks tend to break and even scratch the skin causing a damper or a pause during foreplay and sex. Heavy and thicker plastic masks are good, but many still can break and have sharp edges during on how rough you and you partner is heading. If you want to use plastic masks, use masks that don’t have porous materials attached, have clearly attached cleaning instructions and is specifically stated for use in erotic and sexual play.
